Would Have Been Practically Closed Had it not been for the cement tariff of 21 cents a barrel it Is practically certain that the plant here, as well as those at Colton and Riverside, would have been shut down almost completely for the last ing their buying power would have been nothing short of a calamity.

Bourbon Pledge Fails To Appeal The promise of the Democratic candidate for President to reduce tariffs generally does not appeal to Victorville people. It would strike as hard here as taking the tariff off citrus fruits would in other near sections. Victorville desires that the orange growers and the cities supported by them shall be able to buy some of our cement, and If the cement industry is maintained here the residents can buy liberally of the citrus fruits and other products.

Junior College Instructor Says Viewpoints of Americans And British Differ British parents, like those In the United States, are perturbed at seeing their progeny go "jazzy," suggested Mis. Glenn B. Merry field, In speaking yesterday to members of the Colton Rotary club, although she implied there was far greater restraint shown on the isles than In this country. The San Bernardino valley junior college English Instructor, however, reminded her auditors there were proportionately only a few automobiles In England and this tended to keep the young people at home.

Likewise, the twilight continues In the summer until almost 9:30, and the grouping by young people for recreation and for discussions of serious subjects has widespread popularity. Mrs. Merryfield, who spent a few weeks In the British isles this summer, pointed out It was not probable that one would gain definite conclusions on many subjects in that time, but spoke of Impressions which she had gleaned, as they had appeared to her. She was introduced by S. E.

Andrews, a member of the junior college board of trustees. Accept Depression Without Big Howl She found that there is a definite national feeling which deplores non-cancellation of war debts on the part of the United States. Newspaper articles were prone to exaggerate, possibly, the extent of the growth of gangsterism and racketeering in this country and the suffering brought about by the depression. Being by experience and by habit more frugal, the English have accepted the depression in that country more philosophically than have Americans, in Mrs. Merryfield's opinion.

Not being accustomed to trie luxuries as are demanded in the United States by most people, the English have not become wholly discontented by being compelled to forego a few things which formerly they enjoyed. They lauded the spirit of national loyalty as demonstrated when the government urged people to give up their gold. Jewelry, trinkets and other gold articles were contributed in large numbers by the people in every locality, in order that the government might have it minted into coins. Soldiers Consider Patriotism Sufficient The British government, following the war, had issued bonds carrying 5 per cent interest. New bonds were Issued carrying only 3'i per cent interest, and people were urged to accept these in lieu of those they were holding carrying higher interest rates.

In short time, it was reported 90 per cent of the bonds had been transferred. By comparison, the activity of the "bonus army" at Washington was considered a spectacle by a British veteran with whom Mrs. Merryfield said she talked. "He said he drew 20 cents daily during the war, when one hand was shot off," said the speaker. "He considered going to war a patriotic thing to do for his country; he has not received a bonus or pension nor does he consider petitioning for anything of the sort." Program of the English organizations seeking to promote better understandings between its people and those of other English-speaking countries, through personal contacts and by means of publications, was commended by Mrs.

Merryfield. New Suspect Is Held As Holdups Probed Antonio Machatfo, 23 years old, a Kedlands dishwasher, Is in the county Jail while Sheriff Ernest T. Shay is investigating two holdups that took place recently. Perry Webster, a Redlands cook, and Clovis Duke, a Colton youth 17 years old, who are both in the counly jail on charges of holding up a couple in an automobile near the Hollow Hill farm, are alleged to have been involved with Machado in robberies of automobile parties at East Highlands lake and in Red-lands. According to Deputy Sheriff James W.

Stocker and Harry R. Heap, who arrested Machado, Webster already has confessed his part in the East Highlands and Redlands holdups and has implicated Machado. 'Uninvited Guest' Steals Two Purses Colton's "purse thief" paid another visit to San Bernardino last night, entering the home of Mrs. Josephine Vondey, at 1251 street, and escaping with two purses which had been left on a bed in one of the rooms while occupants of the house were in another room. Last night's theft marked the second visit of the "uninvited guest" to San Bernardino in the past week.

Officer Howard Kaltenborn investigated. Cooling System Held Faulty, $950 Asked Eliza J. Loftis of Barstow has filed an action in superior court against the Berg Engineering Co. and A. Herman Berg to collect $950 for a cooling system at her residence which she says failed to function as warranted.

uary, they added, Mrs. Newkirk substituted for her husband, D. L. Newkirk, as an instructor. Mr.

Newkirk was principal also at the time of his wife's dismissal. Both Newkirk and Chief Deputy County Auditor P. W. Nichols testified the school district had funds on hand which could have been used for paying Mrs. Newkirk's salary.

Stock Feed Bill Is Basis of Litigation Trial of a $2,926.90 suit in which the Walker Feed Fuel Co. of Ontario is plaintiff and the Sprague stock farm and Seaboard Dairy Credit corporation are defendants, began in Superior Judge F. A. Leonard's court yesterday. The plaintiff's testimony was to the effect that in August, 3929, he sold $641.05 worth of dairy feed to the Sprague Stork farm for which no payment has been made.

It was further testified that the plaintiff had been assigned a similar debt for $1,729.54 by F. P. and W. A. Kretz.

and another account for $556.31 by the Kenneth R. Simpson company. The Sprague interests contend that the debt should be against the Seabord corporation and not against the farm, but the corporation denies all three bills. Attorney Leland S. Davidson of Ontario and the Pomona law firm of Nichols, Cooper Hickson represent the Walker Feed Fuel while the stock farm is represented by Pollock Mitchell of Ontario and the Seaboard corporation by Attorney Clement L.

Mexican Singer Given Ovation An enthusiastic audience of several hundred people tendered Jose Mojica, Chicago Civic Opera tenor, a rousing ovation in the San Bernardino Municipal auditorium last night. Residents of surrounding cities joined with the San Bernardino audience in giving the Mexican singer a brilliant welcome. The smiling tenor displayed a real talent for showmanship throughout his program. In the four groups of numbers, including an operatic quartet and an English group in the first part, and Spanish and Mexican numbers in the second part, Mojica established a feeling of friendship with his audience which won him instant favor and popularity.

The long training and experience of the singer made his concert a perfect bit of vocal harmony. Playing with his words and notes, Mojica made them perform for him at his will, loud1 or soft, bold or pensive, as the occasion demanded. After each group the singer responded with encores, enjoying the enthusiasm of his audience as they enjoyed his singing. His last group, of Mexican numbers, was sung in costume of early California period. Troy Sanders, who proved his ability as an accompanist by playing his entire repertoire without music, also established a reputation as a soloist, receiving as great an ovation as Mojica in his two groups of solo numbers, to whirh he responded with brilliant encores.

The complaint, charging the theft of $14,000 from investors in the Westgard silver-lead mine, and numerous counts of violating the corporate securities act, was dismissed by a superior court judge at the request of a district attorney's deputy.
